About This Novel
As usual, the girl Kai Xing sat with her female companions beside a tall pile of grain and hay to collect the soles of her shoes. The female companions were talking and laughing while they were flying needles and threads. Only Kai Xing remained silent and lowered his head to collect his shoes. She pulled the thin, white twine over the yellow wax so that the twine could run more smoothly during the threading process, and then threaded it through the soles stitch by stitch. The silver-white, thin and long steel needle is not omnipotent. It has to pull the hemp rope through the thick, white thousand-layer cloth. It also needs the guidance of a slightly longer awl and the dark strength of the thick copper thimble. The workmanship of this type of fur-soled shoes is very complicated, requiring time, energy, and both eye and hand. Kai Xing and her friends have already become proficient in this kind of craftsmanship. During busy farming periods, they work in the fields like their family members. During slack farming periods, their mother prepares fabrics of various colors and textures for them to make various kinds of cloth shoes.
